| Question: City of Bones/The Mortal Instruments PIANO SCORE? Posted: 17 Sep 2014 03:57 AM PDT Update : I've been looking for ages The Mortal Instruments movie score for piano, but none of my results were productive... I'm looking for the songs "Midnight in the garden" and "Clary's Theme" mostly, not Demi's Heart by Heart and Caillat's When the darkness comes (I got those already). The movie soundtrack was composed by Atli Örvarsson. Does anyone know where I can find them? |
| Question: May u suggest a good book for learning javascript? Posted: 17 Sep 2014 03:51 AM PDT New music I might like?So I kinda want to find some more music to listen to. I currently listen to Fall Out Boy, OneRepublic, a little bit of American Authors... |
| Question: Last names for Seth? Posted: 17 Sep 2014 02:15 AM PDT You would need to think of a good reason why someone with an Itallian surname would have such a very English-sounding first name as "Seth". Not hard to think of such a reason, but you would need to have it in your mind - what is his family history? Possibly he would have at least one Italian-sounding middle name, as well as "Seth" - Italians are very family-minded people, so I cannot think that they would allow an English wife to get away with simply "Seth" - they would want Italian uncles or grandfathers commemorated as well. Of course, if you are totally unconcerned about the background of your characters then you can use any combination you like. |
| Question: Need ideas for a character's appearance + love interest? Posted: 17 Sep 2014 01:30 AM PDT The female can be a tall skinny red head with dull grey eyes that look green at times. A short bob, wavy hair. As for the love interest. Slightly taller, stocky build with dark brown eyes and flecks of gold/brown. His personality: cocky, arrogant, flirtatious and fiercely determined to get his way. |
| Question: Are there any documents or legal matters to go through when writing/publishing a book? Posted: 17 Sep 2014 01:23 AM PDT Only during the publication stage after the book has been accepted do you need to be concerned with legal issues. Some authors like to copyright their manuscript if they are afraid of being copied, but this is a little extreme. Some authors have committed plagiarism or misrepresented themselves, be it their life story, a military rank or an academic degree. After a publisher accepts your manuscript they will send you a contract to sign. This is the tricky part- they might stipulate that they own publication rights to your manuscript- but this doesn't guarantee they will publish your book- you might end up in limbo for years. Another stipulation, especially with non-fiction, is a clause that forbids you to publish on the same subject for a period (typically 5 years), or for fiction, to use a character in other works. You should be careful and examine the contract in depth before signing- if there is something you object to, speak with the publisher and work it out. The pay and profit and royalties can be a sticky affair- some publishers will only pay the author after a certain period following publication, or only after a certain number of copies are sold, or both. There is also the question of royalties, possible reprints, and overstock/surplus sales, in which you might receive only a reduced amount per copy. (You might go to a discount or bulk store like Costco and see books for sale - the authors of these books might receive only a fraction of normal royalties for these books, typically distributed to such stores as overstock). These are the types of issues you might find in signing a contract, protecting yourself and gaining a reputation There's the Fry case, in which the author misrepresented his life story, the Pellegrino case, in which an author claimed a Doctorate he never earned, and cases of books which were plagiarized, costing the author their career and reputation and the publisher a fortune. |
